About the course
Course content
Why is Norway not a member of the EU? To what extent does Norway still participate in EU cooperation and how does this participation work? Drawing on a variety of theoretical perspectives, this course provides a thorough introduction to Norway's relationship with European integration after the Second World War and up to the present day, with particular emphasis on the EEA Agreement. During the course, we also review Norway's cooperation with the EU in areas such as climate policy, energy policy, defense and security policy, justice and domestic policy, and agricultural and fisheries policy. We map how Norwegian actors operate in Brussels, and we examine the debate about the EU in Norway.
